Paroles et traduction Xirú Antunes feat. André Teixeira - Ponchito

Ponchito

Ah... meu sol de madrugada!
Quando rastreando orvalho,
Saía contigo boleado no mais
E bem "gaucho" repontava a cavalhada.

Ponchito meu companheiro,
Trompador das invernias,
Color cinza envelhecido,
Minha coberta farroupilha.

Contigo nunca melei
Lichiguana a campo fora,
Nem nunca mordi de espora
Tua franjita gaúcha.

E em tropa larga, cuê pucha,
Numa tormenta aragana,
Entre tua lã e a badana,
Meu rancho de alma charrua.

E quando o sol esquentava,
Nas manhãs de algum outono,
Coava tropa em porteira,
Te abanando qual um mango.

Ponchito de color cinza,
Meu atavismo crioulo,
Regalo de Don Barboza,
A quem dedico este canto.

Ponchito

Oh... my sunshine at dawn!
When I tracked the dew,
I would go out with you wrapped around me
And the horses stood out like true "gauchos".

My Ponchito, my companion,
A guard against the cold,
Aged gray in color,
My rough and rustic blanket.

With you, I never mixed
Lichiguana in the countryside,
Nor did I ever bite your
Gaucho bangs.

And in a large troop, cuê pucha,
In a fierce storm,
Between your wool and the badana,
My ranch of a charrua soul.

And when the sun would heat up,
On autumn mornings,
I would filter the troop through a gate,
Waving you like a fan.

Ponchito of gray color,
My Creole atavism,
A gift from Don Barbosa,
To whom I dedicate this song.
